Braves acquire Michael Bourn

[TheHippieRipper]

For Jordan Schafer and 3 pitching prospects Brett Oberholtzer, Paul Clemens and Juan Abreu.

I never like seeing one player get traded for 4. I do think Bourn is a good fit for top of the Braves lineup. But he is another left-handed bat, the Braves still need a right handed hitting OF. Not sure if they will keep dealing today but I would like to see Ryan Ludwick come to Atlanta as well.

Good deal for Houston and Atlanta here

at least they have a true leadoff hitter now.

When everyone is healthy this how I would like to see the Braves everday lineup

1. CF Bourn
2. LF Prado
3. C Mcann
4. 3B Chipper
5. 1B Freeman
6. 2B Uggla
7. RF Heyward
8. SS Gonzalez

Not a bad lineup.

I like your lineup weazel

except I would keep chipper in the traditional 3 and put mccann 4

heyward and gonzalez near the back, neither one of him has proven they can hit to the opposite field and have been screwing up with men in scoring position this year

the braves haveonly had their starting lineup from opening day for 14 games this entire season, I can't wait to see this lineup once everyone is healthy

Unfortunately that is a big if. This Braves team has rarely been all healthy the last 2 seasons
